Costly Fire Devastates California Printer

GARDEN GROVE, CA—An overnight blaze at Grafix Systems on Wednesday did heavy damage that could cost as much as $3 million, The Orange County Register reported. More than 40 firefighters waged battle with the fire, which broke out around 12:30 a.m. Flames rocketed as high as 40 feet in the air and did damage to power lines, according to the paper.

No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire—which is believed to have started in the rear of the 3,000-square-foot facility—is under investigation, the Register said.

A fire captain told the Register that Grafix Systems produces advertising wraps for vehicles, and that a bus, six large motor homes, two electric cars and assorted other vehicles were destroyed in the blaze.
